Hi Sharmilaks, My experience with glass is that it will scratch eventually and being such a high gloss marks will show. I would agree with DVG and have a look at Quartz Stone or Composite stone such brands as Compac, Quartz Forms, Diresco, Quarelle, Caesarstone, Arena stone, Uni Stone, Cimstone.

there is many types of support to be used for counter top for long lasting work... as ... 1) brick wall which takes 2" , 4" or 6" thickness space which is not good for below space as we will waste space for storage under counter... this is used where heavy material is used on top of counter for cutting any food items... 2) marble support... which will take 35mm thk space double support... 3) furniture base if the kitchen working person is using the sink properly for washing purpose and the gaps between the sink and counter top has to be sealed properly for leakage free to avoid any damages for below storage, as i will not prefer this in other area... this can be used only in foreign countries...

What to avoid A neutral pH-balanced (i.e. non-acidic) cleaner is best for granite, and any natural cleaners with acids or with caustic nature like ammonia and bleach should be avoided. This includes vinegar, lemon juice, hydrogen peroxide, and citrus cleaners. Here's how you can clean granite countertops Wipe up liquids and spills of acidic ingredients promptly using a little to a soft cloth or a sponge and clear warm water. Some stains can also be lifted with a paste of baking soda and water. And to disinfect, pour one part water and one part 91% isopropyl alcohol into a spray bottle to spray and clean.
